Seminar Series

We are very pleased to announce the continuation of the STS Departmental Seminar Series.

Event details will be posted prior to the event here and through the Grad New STS York mailing list. If you do not have access to either of these please contact the Seminar Series Coordinator (Hélène Mialet at hmialet@yorku.ca). 

The Research Seminar Series in Science, Technology and Society features seminars on a wide range of STS-related topics. Sponsored by the Department of Science, Technology and Society and coordinated by our members, the series is now in its 28th Year and it has hosted over 500 speakers from Canada and around the world. 

The series is open to the public, and STS majors are especially encouraged to attend. 

Please circulate this to interested colleagues, and look forward to seeing you there.
